ENFJs are what I call an “all in one” personality type. They are creative, adhere to a higher purpose and are determined to reach their goal. ENFJ (extroverted, intuitive, feeling, judging) are people who take in information, judge it based on their feeling and then act accordingly.

The perception of the world of an ENFJ depends on how they judge everything around them. Their charisma and passion inspire people around them and their extroverted nature makes them excellent communicators. Their creativity, values, charisma and energy is something everyone should value and if you can find people like them in real life, keep them.
Having said that, let us take a look at the characters in fiction who possess these traits.
